Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 889 - Chapter 889 Chapter 889 A Brother Eager to Be a Third Wheel

Chapter 889: Chapter 889: A Brother Eager to Be a Third Wheel? Chapter 889: Chapter 889: A Brother Eager to Be a Third Wheel? The thought flickered through his mind, then was quickly denied.

Impossible.

If there truly were any fish that slipped through the net, he could not have failed to notice.

Huo Yaozong turned to glance at the firmly shut door, his eyes narrowed slightly before he pushed the door open and left.

Seeing his father emerge with a gloomy and indiscrutable expression, Huo Feng couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, how is auntie doing?”

“Just her old ailments,” Huo Yaozong replied dismissively. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly instructed, “Keep an eye on your auntie during this period.”

Huo Feng was puzzled, “You’re not asking me to surveil her, are you?”

He was extremely baffled; this seemed like looking for trouble. Logically speaking, it should be Huo Lin who was under surveillance.

Huo Yaozong didn’t explain further, but spoke with a serious tone, “Just do as I say. Report everything about whom she approaches to me in great detail, understand?”

“Okay, I get it.” Although Huo Feng didn’t understand the reason, he still agreed.

He then brought up, “About my brother’s matter, what did big brother say?”

Huo Yaozong exhaled through his nose and scoffed, “Expecting help from him is like hoping your brother would plead guilty and seek a reduced sentence.”

Huo Feng clicked his tongue, “So we’re really not going to intervene?”

“There’s nothing we can do,” Huo Yaozong shook his head, looking weary.

The matter involving Huo Chi appeared neither serious nor trivial; after all, the kidnapping wasn’t successful, but the forces involved in the incident were too complex.

He had found that it wasn’t only Li Hanzhou obstructing their efforts, but also some unknown force at play.

Since he couldn’t identify this force, it could only mean they were as powerful as the Huo or Li families.

Huo Yaozong couldn’t fathom why an ordinary girl would entangle them in such complex relations; it was truly incomprehensible.

…

The plain Qiao Yun was sharing a cake with Li Hanzhou.

Qiao Yun ate unhurriedly and elegantly, looking graceful, while Li Hanzhou hardly moved, with most of the cake ending up in Qiao Yun’s stomach.

His eyes half-closed, Li Hanzhou watched intently as Qiao Yun’s little tongue peeked out to lick the cream from the corner of her mouth.

Li Hanzhou’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, and his gaze grew even darker.

Qiao Yun felt uneasy under the man’s stare and looked at him quizzically.

Li Hanzhou had an impish idea, “Let me feed you.”

Saying this, he picked up a fork, speared a small piece of cake, and held it in front of Qiao Yun with interest, “Be good, open up.”

Qiao Yun: “…” Is it still possible to reshape him from scratch?

Qiao Yun frowned, puzzled by his sudden behavior and about to decline, when the doorbell rang.

She stood up abruptly, “I’ll get the door.”

With a slight click of his tongue, Li Hanzhou somewhat regretfully finished the piece of cake and then also got up, walking leisurely to the door.

The door swung open to reveal the two people standing outside.

Li Hanzhou’s eyelid twitched.

With open arms and excitement, Shen Qi declared, “Surprise or not, here I am again, Brother Li!”

Xu Fang, thinking Shen Qi was embarrassing himself, silently stepped back a few paces and nodded to Qiao Yun, “Professor Qiao, sorry to disturb you.”

Li Hanzhou spoke with disdain, “What brings you here?”

“Of course, to attend Tianqi’s product launch event,” Shen Qi, giving a thumbs-up to Li Hanzhou, said, “Brother Li, you’re really something, we really did meet again soon.”

After Tianqi’s assessment ended, Shen Qi was reluctant to part with Professor Qiao, thinking it would be a long while before they saw each other again. A few days later, the Shen family received an invitation from Tianqi to a new product launch.

The Xu family naturally received an invitation too; this time not only Xu Fang, but Xu Long also came, ostensibly to support Professor Qiao.

Shen Qi explained, “Tianqi’s launch of a new product is a big deal, and many people are attending. But these people aren’t as lucky as I am to see Professor Qiao.”

This was true.

Tianqi had developed many products, but most were just Qiao Yun’s tinkering projects, with very few actually hitting the market.

Any one of them was enough to make Tianqi a fortune.

The last time Tianqi launched a new product, it was the previous smart home manager.

No one knew what the new product being launched was, but it was certainly extraordinary, so everyone who received an invitation came.

Qiao Yun blinked, she had left the organization of the launch event to Pei Ya and had not expected him to make it such a grand affair.

It seemed Pei Ya really put his heart into it.

After all, it was something he valued highly.

Li Hanzhou smiled slightly, “Now that I’ve seen the people, you can go.”

He was about to close the door as he spoke.

“Wait a minute…” Shen Qi promptly blocked the door and said with a ingratiating smile, “Considering we’ve traveled so far, Zhou Tu is exhausted, and we haven’t even had a sip of water, you could at least let us have a drink.”

Li Hanzhou reminded him, “This isn’t ancient times, you flew here.”

Shen Qi: “…” The struggle is real.

Li Hanzhou indicated, no need to see them out.

Nobody was going to disrupt his time with Qiaoqiao.

Qiao Yun disapprovingly glared at Li Hanzhou and told them, “Come in and sit.”

“Sure.” Shen Qi was shameless, ignoring Li Hanzhou’s ambiguous smile and wagging his tail as he went inside.

He had finally understood.

It was useless to look for Brother Li, he needed to find Professor Qiao.

Once Shen Qi sat down, he said with a sad face, “Professor Qiao, we came in such a hurry that we didn’t even book a hotel, and your place looks quite spacious, so I guess you have some extra rooms, right?”

Xu Fang couldn’t bear to look at Shen Qi, his skin wasn’t as thick, but honestly, he also thought staying here wouldn’t be bad.

Li Hanzhou raised an eyebrow, “Your dream might come true faster in your sleep.”

“Brother Li, are we still brothers or not?”

Li Hanzhou: “Heh…”

Who has a brother who’s eager to third-wheel?

“Yes.” Qiao Yun suddenly spoke up.

If it were someone else, Qiao Yun wouldn’t agree; she didn’t want to be disturbed.

But these two were different.

Friends of Li Hanzhou were her friends too.

Professor Qiao, always keen to make new friends, said, “You can stay.”

“Then we’ll impose on you.” Shen Qi gave an embarrassed smile and even winked at Xu Fang.

I told you, Professor Qiao is easy to talk to.

Xu Fang: “…”

He thought Li Hanzhou’s gaze was terrifying.

Qiao Yun said softly to Li Hanzhou, “Is it okay if they stay?”

Tickled by her seemingly coquettish tone, Li Hanzhou readily agreed, “They can.”

After all, they won’t be here for many days.

Shen Qi clicked his tongue internally; if Li Ye were an ancient ruler, he’d definitely be a negligent sovereign.

Now that the lodging issue was resolved, Shen Qi’s eyes darted around, and he inquired stealthily, “Professor Qiao, what exactly is Tianqi launching this time?”

Speaking of which, Xu Fang was also very interested.

His grandfather had already been boasting everywhere before they even knew what Tianqi had developed.

Qiao Yun said concisely, “Something the Huo Family has been developing all along.”

Shen Qi was momentarily stunned, then shocked, he opened his mouth wide, “AI system?”

Qiao Yun nodded, “Mhm.”

Xu Fang also didn’t expect it to be that, “Didn’t you say it wouldn’t go to market?”

He remembered when they first found out Professor Qiao had already developed the AI driving system, they asked her why she didn’t bring it to market.
